(Note: it sounds like Joe uses a capo on II to get the hammer-on effects in the D and A chords, so feel free to try that if you like.)

D                                 A
And you say that ain't been happy, say you should be but you don't know why
G                                A
Just trying to get to somewhere, just end up getting by
Bm                                         G
And I give you everything I can think of, give you love but it ain't enough
A
You just tell me not to worry about you, you're on a train and you wish me luck, saying
D
"Is it gonna get easier?
A
Is it gonna get tough?
D
Are the waters gonna open wide?
A
Are they gonna get rough?
G                    Bm
Are we gonna have to sink right down?
G                   A
Are we gonna get to paint this town
D     G    A                         D    G        A                 D   A   
Deep blue green the color of your eyes, looking at me, early in the morning

D A (x2)

D
Left the hotel early that morning
A
Took your hand and we walked all day
G
And we watched all the street performers
A
In the empty street parade
Bm
And we heard that piano playing 
G
"London Bridge" and it made you weep
A
And we caught on the train to Paris
A
You leaned against me and fell asleep, saying

(chorus)

D A (x4)

D
I lost you in a storm in Georgia,
A
Called you up on Christmas day
G
Babe, I tried hard to get back to you
A
But you were just too far away
Bm
And you told me you loved me too
G
But you thought that our love was wrong
A
And I talked you off the ledge by morning
A
Caught the train and you headed home
D
I still remember the day that I met you
A
Still remember the day you left
G
Still remember the day you came back
A
And I remember the things you said
Bm
And I remember the days and the good times
G
And I remember the nights without
A
I tell you baby, when you get back home
A
We'll catch a train and we're heading south, saying

(chorus)
